Summary
"An inside view of how politics work in the era of Deng Xiaoping. Ruan Ming, who participated in the initial phase of China's reforms, has written an engrossing account of behind-the-scenes political machinations. It is the story of the fierce personal, political, and ideological struggles that have led China to its present course--economic reforms at the expense of political reforms".--Merle Goldman, Boston University.
